I don't need to write too much here about my interests/ hobbies/ desires; they should be apparent after a couple of minutes spent browsing through my ramblings, but I would certainly welcome your feedback so please feel free to comment.

The trouble with researching for a dissertation about the arts, is that you end up going off on enormously fun, yet ridiculously unproductive tangents all over the place, and end up with 300 words on paper, and nothing else to show for it.

That's going to change right now, as I share but a few of the tangenty type treats I have found this week.

#1

Slash's debut solo album is out this week. Read a [fairly biased] review here. I am very excited about this, he proves his star pulling power by collaborating with artists such as Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Grohl, Adam Levine and of course, old pal Duff McKagen. Thanks, Slash. You're great.

Renegade street artist Banky's first ever film is soon to be released, check out the trailer, and enjoy the 'subtle' snubs to major film companies:

#3

Rediscover Nouvelle Vague and also, this quirky little animation - a teary narrative, but really well made short.
